The 10 best food for your eyes

More than 13 million people in the U.S. suffer from macular degeneration, and half of all Americans over the age of 80 have cataracts.
From a nutritional standpoint, a large-scale research project conducted by the National Eye Institute has shown that there are several nutrients that help protect our eyes! The most important foods for preventing macular degeneration are ones that are rich in the antioxidants beta carotene, vitamin c, vitamin E, lutein, and zeaxanthin...plus zinc and omega-3 fats!
